Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond meal/flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3.2 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/4 cup agave or maple syrup
- 2 large eggs + 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (e.g., Enjoy Life brand)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat, 2%, or whole)
- Seeds from 1 vanilla bean
- 1 teaspoon agave, honey, or maple syrup
- Sliced strawberries
- Blueberries
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350℉. Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with foil and spray with coconut oil. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Step 2: Place chopped dark chocolate in a small bowl and melt in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth (about 1 to 1½ minutes). Set aside.
- Step 3: In another medium bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolk, and coconut sugar until fully combined. Add vanilla extract and agave syrup, whisk again. Stir the melted coconut oil into the melted chocolate, then add this to the egg mixture and whisk to combine thoroughly.
- Step 4: Fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Step 5: While brownies bake, prepare the topping by whisking together Greek yogurt, vanilla bean seeds, and agave (or honey/maple syrup) in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use. Once brownies have cooled completely, cut into 16 squares, top each with a dollop of the vanilla bean yogurt, and decorate with sliced strawberries and blueberries.
Tips & Variations
- Use dairy-free or plant-based yogurt to make the topping vegan-friendly while keeping the gluten-free aspect.
- Substitute coconut sugar with brown sugar or maple sugar if preferred.
- Try adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the brownie batter for extra texture.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
Storage
Store the brownie bites with yogurt topping in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best texture, keep the brownies and yogurt topping separate until serving. You can reheat brownies briefly in the microwave, but add fresh yogurt and berries after warming to maintain freshness.

FAQs
Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, but the texture and gluten-free aspect will change. Almond flour gives these brownies a moist, tender crumb. If you use regular flour, consider adjusting the liquid ingredients slightly.
How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
The top will be set, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy.

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3.2 oz. dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (Enjoy Life brand, vegan, dairy and gluten free)

- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat or 2% or whole for creamier texture)
- Seeds from 1 vanilla bean
- 1 teaspoon agave, honey, or maple syrup
- Sliced strawberries
- Blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350℉. Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with foil and spray it lightly with coconut oil to prevent sticking. Set aside for later use.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
- Melt Chocolate: Place chopped dark chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, about 1 to 1.5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another medium bowl, whisk eggs and egg yolk with the coconut sugar until well combined. Stir in vanilla extract and agave syrup. Then mix in the melted chocolate along with the coconut oil, whisking until smooth and uniform.
- Mix Batter: Fold the dry almond flour and cocoa mixture gently into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips carefully.
- Bake Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- Prepare Yogurt Topping: While brownies bake, whisk together Greek yogurt, vanilla bean seeds, and your choice of agave, honey, or maple syrup in a small bowl. Refrigerate until brownies are cooled.
- Assemble and Serve: Once completely cooled, cut the brownies into 16 small squares. Top each piece with a dollop of the vanilla bean Greek yogurt and garnish with sliced strawberries and blueberries. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips for a gluten-free, vegan option.
- Nonfat Greek yogurt works well for topping, but 2% or whole milk yogurt creates a richer taste and creamier texture.
- Ensure brownies are completely cooled before cutting and adding yogurt to prevent melting.
- Can substitute agave with maple syrup or honey based on dietary preference.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a thick coconut yogurt alternative, although it will change the flavor and texture slightly.
